Chamberlain College of Nursing Miramar Fall 2015

Thank you nursenessaxo! I was going to do that as well and just wanted to make sure I was on the same page with someone lol. How long did it take for you to receive it? Thank you for reminding me about the sizes running big.

I bought a white scrub top from the uniform store today just in case the one I order from the bookstore doesn't come on time. I'm going to order it now. The blue pants I bought are considered "Royal Blue" at the store I went to today (All Uniform Wear). They told me that BC's students wear that color and I was told from a previous BC student (who went to Chamberlain right after) used the same pants and it was okay. It just gave me a confirmation that it was the right shade. I did ask for a Galaxy Blue. It seemed too dark compared to what I saw on campus. Granted they were more comfy (they were cargo style) I just stuck with my guts and kept the royal blue.

I just need my ID and my shoes. I'll be good to go soon!

Also, regarding back to my schedule post, I read it wrong. Patho I is only 8am-11:30am on the first day then the rest of the class will be at noon until 2pm. Just wanted to clarify that. I still didn't find the info for the room number after though. I'm going to call tomorrow to make sure my paperwork was processed and that everything went okay then I'll see if I go in tomorrow or tuesday for my ID.

It was quick actually they ship it within a day and it gets here between 2-3 days. I got mines fast. And yea it sucks that they run so big, if it were up to me id buy my own shirt and get the logo embroided on. :/ And yea for the pants i ended up getting both colors just to be safe.

By the way how was everyones first day (whoever started today)? I go to campus on thursday but would love to hear how classes are going for everyone.

Thank you nursenessaxo!

i ordered them yesterday and my tracking info says it won't be here til friday so i'll have to wear the plain white scrub top i bought for now. I'm glad i bought it just in case lol.

Also! I know Meeshie mentioned that a lot of Chamberlain students use Uniform Advantage. I was just there at the Pembroke Lakes Mall location. They told me that you can actually buy the white scrub top there and they send it to an embroidery to have the logo placed on. When it gets shipped back they call you and you just pick it up. Pros: It's only around 12 bucks (no shipping. I paid 12 bucks in shipping with the bookstore) Cons: It takes around a week for them to get it done. The bookstore ships quicker than that. This would've been helpful before the semester started though but I'm just mentioning it in case. If someone already mentioned this already I'm sorry for being repetitive haha.

I went in today to get my Photo ID I saw a few students and they had either royal blue or galaxy blue so I guess it doesn't matter? I just wanted to mention that too. I should have bought that galaxy blue cargo style pants. They were so comfy lol.

First class on campus starts Friday morning! I'm so excitedddd.

Really? I would have never guessed they did that. I would rather get my own shirt. Do you know if you need to have the logo or would they have it? Thats a way better deal then the bookstore.

And yea I ended up getting both colors. I like the galaxy blue better (: but yea I start tomorrow so Im definitely excited also! Good Luck!!

Yes, tops need to have the logo. However, UA has the logo available. They can embroider it.. though it costs a few dollars and takes about a week.

Hi nursenessaxo and Meeshie!

Yes UA will have the logo. From my understanding they send it to an embroidery but I misunderstood that they charge for the embroidery I'm sorry about that. From what she implied the lady made it sound like all I was paying for was just the top. In the end it's sill a better value than the bookstore cause of the shipping but as for time it takes longer.

I was told today that by the time we get to clinicals we have to transfer into the galaxy/cobalt blue bottoms. I was not sure if anyone else was told this. I'm kind of disappointed because it was already a hassle just to pick a color but I'm alright with it cause the galaxy blue looks nicer.

I was just about to ask about the uniforms but you guys answered my questions lol. Thank you!! i'm sorry for not remembering everyone at orientation. I'm sure if I were to see you guys in person i would remember (granted some of you guys have a photo of yourself here - i'm so bad lol i'm sorry). I only somewhat remember the people closer to me since there was quite a lot of us.
I have Transitions on fridays 9am-11:00 (30?)am, Patho I on Saturdays 8am-11:30 (then alternate saturdays from 8am-11:30 then it extends 12pm-2pm - i hope i read the time slots correctly) and then Ethics is online. I'm not too fond about that 8am class, especailly since I'm supposed to work fri and sat morning so I have to switch with someone but its okay! I don't know how to find the room number though. I felt like I struggled trying to find the times/days but it was obvious to go under the "view schedule" tab lol. I just didn't see the room number anywhere near it. I'm sure i'll find it.
As for the uniforms, i was thinking of going to UA in the pembroke lakes mall today but there's also an All Uniform Wear too. If most Chamberlain students go to UA then it might be easier so thank you for mentioning that Meeshie!
I'm glad I don't start monday since I have nothing ready. I have to get my ID this week so I might go tomorrow.

Hey how is your patho class going? Were you given any tips for the upcoming exam? I'm taking it online I'm super nervous and the professor doesn't offer any tips as far as the exam.

nursenessaxo · Sep 11, 2015

Im taking patho online also so if anyone has any tips let me know as well!

It's OK because of my other classmates and some of the professors. It's been very disorganized this session. Hopefully it's smooth sailing from here on out.

Hello,

What has been disorganized ? I am starting now, May session. Any advice that you could give me ? :/ ..Anything that you could tell me that you would've loved to know prior to you starting ?
